Hey guys! My laptop has recently stopped working and has become useless - I cannot use the internet, play sound or pretty much do anything that makes a laptop useful. It may be something to do with the drivers but I've tried updating a few of them to no avail. There are multiple yellow exclamation marks in Device Manager as shown below, My laptop model is a Sony Vaio VPCEC3S03 - Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I believe I found the support site. It's the uk website but I still do not see the Intel Management Engine listed. I would download the Chipset driver and run that. You need to click show all downloads under the Windows 7 driver section.

Edit: It has your 64bit Ethernet driver but from the size of it, it looks like you would unzip the file and then update the driver through Device Manager. Right click the device and under the driver tab select update driver and point it to the inf file in the uzipped folder. You may want to use this instead of the one I linked to.

Will try this now - I've just tried an ethernet connection and it worked! Thank you very much for your help so far.

Your Welcome, and thank your for the update. Glad you got it sorted out.

Sorry John, Everything has been fixed apart from one thing, Thought you might be able to help, I've installed all drivers from the Sony Site including the realtek audio driver, however there's still a red X on my speaker icon and i'm still unable to play sound, Any ideas?
